Sex Ed & Gender Confusion

I placed a ridiculous request this year because last year I didn't really ask for anything spectacular and I knew no one I actually knew would buy me any of this stuff.

I was on Reddit one day (of course) and I think a page from this book came up in r/WTF. People got talking, someone found the book, others claimed it to be a totally amazing, fun, and super informative book. It seemed to have a lot more detail than what I usually find for sex ed. books, so I decided it'd be a funny book to have lying around in the bathroom or living room. I'm an open person and I pretty much impose my pro-sex attitude on my friends. I've been reading it on and off, and even though I am fairly educated and experienced, there's still a lot of little details that are completely new to me.

So the book I got is The Guide to Getting It On, and because you probably wanna know what page Reddit freaked about, so I took a picture of it. There's also examples of other content I randomly got while flipping through it.

I got this gift pretty fast, and I was super excited. I'm really glad I got this! I was all warm and fuzzy for about an hour or two after I opened the gift. Damnit, Redditors are amazing!

Part two of my wish came far later, right before I left on a Christmas vacation. (Oh puns...) I had to get it from the UPS store that was an hour's walk, so that whole hour I was so excited to get home.

I opened what was a small, more square than rectangular box. I thought this was an odd shape for it. I unwrapped the gift wrap. Inside was actually not at all what I expected, and I went through a huge mix of emotions - from being grateful anyway to being a little disappointed. I got a Tenga Egg, which is a masturbation toy for men.

Now why am I disappointed? Because I'm a woman, so I can't use these at all! I wish I could! They actually look fun to me.

I had many ideas on how my Secret Santa came to buying these... Was it the stereotypical assumption that 100% of Redditors are men? Were they trying to trick me and just mess with my head? Trolling? Did they figure out I have a boyfriend, and thought that for once, maybe the guy deserves the special toys?

Whatever - it doesn't matter. I decided to give these to my boyfriend by hiding them in his dresser. I'm still waiting for him to find them and be very much WTF?? because I don't think he would consider buying these himself. When you see the Youtube video, you'll understand why.... Apparently, most guys claim these are actually amazing, so I'm still going to convince him to try them and see what he thinks (after I stop laughing at his reaction - our bond thrives on trolling and constantly making fun of each other). So now, I'm really amused and still feel warm and fuzzy.

I'm glad this Redditor took me challenge! I'll try not to ask for similar things next year and see how the next Secret Santa does. There's something really amusing and a bit exciting about having a complete stranger buy you things like this.
